XP SP3 Nothing works (29 days to activate)

[junkmonk]

I've tried that little registry file posted as "XP SP3 ACTIVATION" or something like that... no go...

I installed XP SP3 integrated August 08 ETH0.

it came with two cracks, have run them both, and both cracks give errors of "unable to find file" or whatever... so seems M$ has done something different here... every time i restart my computer, automatically genuine advantage downloads and then POPS up saying 29 days to activate.... what do i do?

I've tried many different serials with only one working for installation.

Do I have to just uninstall this and install one of the OEM ones???

Plz answer...

It sounds like you're going to need to download one of the versions of the Student Edition of XP Pro and grab a Student Edition key while you're at it.

Keznews have an article which describe exactly what kind of situation you are in here (new WGA): http://keznews.com/4814_Microsoft_to_ta ... ifications Hang in there until a solution come.

If you are having problem specifically with Windows Product Activation and not Windows Genuine Advantage, try AntiWPA 3.4.6.

solution

it's very simple, use hijackthis program can be downloaded from the official home page

http://majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
when you run to give click button: "do a system scan and save log file"
and seek this post:

winlogon notify: wgalogon - c: windowssystem32wgalogon.dll

click on the mark giving a side of the box and then click to give "fix checked"

and this is definitely clears the process that verifies the original software

Why you dont just install a retail version rather than OEM version? Nowadays, Windows XP never needs a crack, as long as the CD-Key is genuine.
